Jewelry Marketing Idea Turns into a Weekend Project

Happy Saturday! It's up to ten degrees and I'd really like to take a drive in the country. We've got a lot of snow and I think the pictures could be fantastic. I've got a snow setting on my new camera too! Can you imagine, a snow setting? Technology is something else! So as I wait for my precious husband to get ready, I thought I would write. I am preparing a portfolio that I can carry down to my friend's place of business to sell my jewelry. One simple request via email and my mind creates a weekend portfolio project. It's gonna be beautiful when I get done! It's going to be portable. It's got to help sell the jewelry or I can recycle it into something else. I'll be using a large sheet of cardboard that I'll get from packing at work. I am continually amazed at the amount of recyclable materials that I can get from packing materials. There will be a little cushioning on top of the cardboard and then I will cover it with fabric. The cardboard is folded like a notebook with a spine that will accommodate the hanging configuration inside. It'll have handles. I'll take some pictures and post them when I'm done. I love the idea of using black and white velvet on the inside. Not together though. At least I've learned that jewelry needs solid color presentation. Whew! Is that a term or what? Solid color presentation as opposed to a loud print presentation! I know anything will work but I want the best presentation ever. Solids are a must. Well I just heard the bathroom door. I think that must be a good sign. So I'll see ya later. I'm off to a drive in the country and a stop at the fabric store. Could a Saturday afternoon get any better? I think not!
